This and that!...

Hello beauties!

I hope you enjoyed my last blog and my video tutorial! I'll upload my newest one at the end of this post! I know I said I wouldn't update until Monday but when something is on my mind I have to write it down!

Firstly thought I'd talk about the shoot I have planned for Sunday, very excited but slightly nervous at the same time! I have 5 models with a different look for each.

Look 1 - Voluptuous Vamp

Look 2 - Rock n Roll

Look 3 - American Dream

Look 4 - Say it Loud

Look 5 Powerful Plum

I'm not going to tell you what each look actually entails so its a surprise for when the photos come up :) But I would be really interested to know how you interpret these looks so let me know your ideas!

I've also come across this amazing gold eyeliner crayon from Topshop's make up range! Its perfect to give a bit of shimmer to your eyes and is lush for the summer months. A little fact for you as well is that all Topshop products are produced in the same place Mac makeup is :) The colour i have this in is called Equinox but they do come in other colours as well. Here's the link: Topshop Eyeliner Crayon. It retails at £8.50 and you got 10% off with a valid NUS card.

Im not sure if you can see the colour very well but its a gold :)

Another product I'm going to recommend to you is Mac Zoom Lash mascara! I normally use 2 mascaras but this seems to have the thickness and volume that I need on its own, although I may add another one on top! I havent previously used Mac mascaras that much but i really love this one. You can get it here: Zoom Lash. It retails at £13.50 and I have it in Zoom Black.

Amazing for elongating your lovely lashes!

As you may have guessed Slimming World ended! haha! Basically I found it amazing when I had a bit of weight to loose but now I only want to drop a few pounds I felt it wasn't really for me. Infact I was eating more than I normally eat anyway so it kind of defeated the object. However I am still trying to eat healthy for my summer hols but find it really hard when its that time of the month and I cant resist chocolate! Well do not fear my female friends as i have found hope in the name of a weight watchers cake - Belgian Chocolate Slice! Mmm...Tastes just like chocolate and not like powder - SUCCESS! You can get them from all super markets an their only 88 kcals per slice...so treat yourself and have 2 :)

Weight watchers do loads of delicious treats so try them an all :)

A really exciting thing happened to me this week, i was interviewed by my university magazine by one of their authors Angie Yussuff for a section on entrepreneurial students! I don't really know whether I qualify for this yet but hopefully when The brush is yours is  up and running I will :) This will be in the magazine on the 4th May but here's a sneak preview for you lot...

Q. Tell me a little about yourselfWell im originally from Cardiff, in South Wales. I moved to London in 2009 to go to University and also start living independently. I have a large background in music and used to be singer, but decided I wanted to study instead.

 Q.  Talk me through Lorna Land, what is it?  (both the blog and the facebook business page)So basically Lorna Land is the blog. I literally woke up one Thursday morning, after being to the Rocket the night before, and was sorting through all my cosmetics. Whilst doing this I thought I bet there are loads of people who would be interested in reviews on not only different makeup items but also places to go, fashion tips and hear a little bit about London life. That’s when I set up Lorna Land which now has 2500 views! The like page on facebook is for the blog but also for the business I am currently setting up ‘The brush is yours’. ‘The brush is yours’ is going to involve myself as a freelance makeup artist for weddings, birthdays and any special occasion. It’s going to a unique experience whereby the customer gets to choose exactly what they want on their face. A lot of Makeup artist tend to do what they want to do and this can put people off. I plan on starting ‘The brush is yours’ properly in September when I have all the products I need.

Q.  What was the inspiration behind ‘The brush is yours’, how did it evolve?I have always had a passion for being creative from a young age, whether it be trying out different colours on my face or imagining I was in a fashion shoot. I started to work for Estee Lauder in September 2010 and since then have realized how much I love the concept of makeup and also love people reaction after they’ve been ‘done up.’ Also whilst publishing the blog ‘Lorna Land’ I found a lot of people were asking me whether I could do their makeup, so this is a perfect way to begin.

When it goes into the magazine ill put the link up so you can see the whole interview!

So before i finish just talk you through this tutorial, its basically a pink and gold look - which is perfect for summer or even proms and weddings. Heres the look: 

If off now, got work tomorrow :( I just watched Limitless which was amazing and I really recommend you all to watch it!! Please can you all comment-i love your messages and follow me on facebook! Lorna Land - The brush is yours...

Good night everyone, ill let you know how the shoot goes!

Much Love
